ISN’T it interesting to note that while
your headline (November 21) proclaims the devastation wreaked on Cork
by a "one-in-800 year flood", An Bord Pleanála is
considering the merits or otherwise of granting permission to construct
two incinerators, one to burn hazardous waste and the other to burn
non-hazardous waste, beside the shores of Cork harbour on a site prone
to flooding on the basis of water levels reached in a one-in-100 year
flood.
